Ayesha Curry Says She's Not An 'NBA Wife' And Twitter Has Some Thoughts

She said that there's a double standard.

Published January 5, 2018

Ayesha Curry has built a reputation for being both the girl next door and an approachable businesswoman who many women aspire to be like. However, while she's an accomplished entrepreneur in her own right, her title of "Stephen Curry's wife" still manages to overshadow her other ventures.

Well, simply put, she doesn't appreciate the generalization and expressed that she believes there's a double standard, especially as far as her particular situation is concerned.

The mother of two and host of the Food Network show Ayesha's Home Kitchen was asked during a recent interview with Nightline what she considers to be her most important titles.

"Obviously mom and wife first," she said before being asked what she thinks of the moniker "NBA wife."

Elsewhere in the interview, she also shared some advice she received about always maintaining her own identity.

"One thing that my mom alway stold me was to never lose yourself inside of your marriage," she said. "I'm happy that I've been able to find that so-called balance and be able to pursue my passions and take care of my family."

She expounded on this point in a tweet following her interview:

While it is a part of who I am, it does not define me. I think it’s important to clarify. There are so many layers to the modern day woman! https://t.co/gqkYJiDyri

Plz don't use Gabrielle Union as an example she's actually famous for her talent. Ayesha been getting famous BECAUSE of the success of her husband. Can't get interview done without mentioning she's the wife an NBA player until that stops n ppl want to know about her only 🤷‍♀️

“Chef’s Wife”? U have not earned that title. “Cook” yes. That’s disrespectful to all the line cooks working hard to maybe own their own spot. If not for the fact u are an NBA WIFE Minna would have not had anything to do with u let’s keep it real oh and let’s not forget the $$$$
